Wouldn't a VIEW have the same problem as a read trigger with regards to 
using CPYF or DSPPFM to create or see a file with unencrypted data?

On the other hand, couldn't the read trigger or the VIEW have some logic 
in it to see what the calling program is, and only unencrypt for the 
application program(s)?
